Imago. — Male. A smaller insect than P. guttata. Upperside dark brown, with- 

 out the ochreous tint, the hair-like setae on the forewing and the hairs covering the 

 hindwing as in guttata, but grey in colour, not dull ochreous as in that species. 

 Upperside with the spots white, not ochreous-white, and all very small. Forewijig 

 with the discal spots disposed as in guttata, but in all the examples before us there are 

 only two sub-apical spots, the uppermost one being absent, the two sub-apical quite 

 minute, being mere dots, the other three increasing in size hindwards, all three quite 

 small, and there are no cell spots. Hindwing with three dots in the disc iu an 

 outward curve, one in each of interspaces 2, 3 and 4. Cilia cinereous, with a brownish 

 base, becoming whitish hindwards. Underside paler and duller in colour, much as in 

 guttata, but the colour is somewhat more ochreous, the spots as on the upperside. 

 Antennae, palpi, head and body similar. 



Female like the male, the spots larger, increasing in size hindwards, only two 

 sub-apical dots, sometimes one and sometimes two cell dots, the usual spot against the 

 sub-median vein in continuation of the discal series, so prominent in guttata, altogether 

 absent, or only very slightly indicated ; in the hindwing the three or four discal spots 

 are minute.
